Today is Saturday, the day of the week devoted to the Blessed Mother. On this – her special day – let us together honor the Virgin Mary’s Immaculate Purity. Let us pray, most especially in these times of tribulation, that we too may carry our souls unstained through this life and thus be brought into the life to come.

Blessed Be Your Purity

Blessed be your purity,

May it be blessed for ever,

For no less than God takes delight

In such exulted beauty.

To you, heavenly Princess,

Holy Virgin Mary,

I offer on this day

My whole heart, life, and soul.

Look upon me with compassion;

Do not leave me, my mother.

(Prayer taken from Handbook of Prayers Rev. James Socias Gen. Ed. 478)

Thank you and don’t forget to offer little acts of love to our Blessed Mother on her special day.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mount Carmel

“Mary, Beauty of Carmel, just as in the Upper Room, you watched over the origins of the Church, so now the Church’s journey is entrusted in a special way to the loving hearts of cloistered nuns. With great confidence in the power of your heavenly intercession, we ask you to watch over and bless all Carmelite Nuns and, in particular, the community that worships Our Lord, Jesus Christ in Denmark, Wisconsin.

Obtain for these Nuns a daily increase of the virtues of faith, hope, and love that will empower them, in prayer, to obtain every blessing from Our Lord Heavenly Father’s hands for the good of souls. May their lives of hidden prayer strengthen the Diocese of Green Bay and the entire Church. Through the grace of Christ, draw many young women to enter the Monastery of the Holy Name of Jesus. Holy Mother share with the Nuns of Denmark your love of Jesus’ Priesthood. May the Monastery make visible on earth the Heavenly Kingdom which is our life, our sweetness, and our hope. Amen.”

Prayer For New Carmelite Vocations

“Lord Jesus Christ, You promised that if we agree to pray for anything in Your Name, You will do it for us. Through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Mount Carmel we ask You for the grace of good vocations. Give us young men and women of faith who are zealous to become Your strong friends and to faithfully serve as friars and nuns in the Discalced Carmelite Order. As You have done in the past, awaken hearts to fervently desire You and to carry on the charism of Carmel – to glorify the Triune God in the company of Your Mother and to be the love at the Heart of Your Church. Amen.”

Moses Prayer

“O Father Moses, who in return for thy burning faith and love of God, was Divinely rewarded with the leadership of Israel and care of God’s eternal law, obtain for us a lively faith, a bold courage and a steadfast commitment to preserve God’s ancient Commandments in our hearts and in our land. Grant, that through our humble efforts, God’s Ten Commandments may be more widely known, more deeply understood and more faithfully followed. Amen.”
